About This Topic

Development of novel catalytic materials for conversion of methane to chemicals and fuel components are important for the sustainable development of our human society. Taking into consideration limited natural resources of the planet, growing population, scarcity of food and water, it is of immense importance that we innovate new efficient catalytic process for the transformation of methane into sustainable fuels and chemicals.

Keywords
